Regulation of differentiation, proliferation and drug-induced apoptosis in HT58 lymphoma cells

Abstract

Recently, it has been suggested, that differentiated cells are more resistant to the apoptotic effect of DNA damaging agents possibly due to the decreased activity of “damage detecting/apoptosis triggering” mechanism. Previously, we have shown, that PMA pretreatment reduced etoposide-(ETO) but enhanced staurosporine- (STA) -induced apoptosis in HT58 cells. Data presented here show that the HT58 human, “mature” B-lymphoma cells exposed to PMA secrete more IgM into the supernatant indicating commitment of cells to perform differentiated function. The sensitivity of HT58 cells to ETO- or STA-induced apoptosis is influenced diversely with PMA pre- or posttreatment. Interestingly, the DNA damage (gamma radiation, bleomycin, ETO) or okadaic acic (30 nM) reduced the [PMA+STA] - induced apoptosis.
